Could hardly ever afford these as a kid from off the ice cream man, as they were always the most expensive thing :disappointed:

Sadly they are far from what they used to be, the sizes have shrunk, the chocky inside is a fraction of the size it used to be and the quality is far from what it used to be... I too used to love these but on the basis of what they are now, they are not worth it...

I think they are bit smaller but im not gunna complain when im paying 25p for a lolly. Probably about £1.50+ each off an ice cream van now.
I like the chocolate inside as its like getting 2 lollies :smiley: i save the chocolate bit till last

Our icecream man sells the Feast ripoffs for a quid each, so this is a billy albeit not like they once was..

They need to do King size ones. Though that will probably just end up being the size they used to be!

My all time favourite lolly!
Alas, not what they once were... but we still have the memories. :smirk:

I used to like the Mint Feast. But like those above it was a rarity, and I usually had to settle for a choc ice, screwball or minimilk :smiley:

Lol Golly Bar. Good luck trying sell one of those nowadays . They are actually pretty much just the same as the Walls Big Bite ice creams they do now
Not as bad as the Dark Chocolate 'Feast' Walls released in Sweden though. ..

Had these yesterday in Southport. I can confirm they are much smaller than they were but still great value at 29p. They also had a branded big posh Christmas ice-cream desert thing for 99p and two tubs of Ben and Jerry's blueberry frozen yoghurt for £1.50. Also, 3 of the super chocolatey Magnums (Intense?) were a quid too.

Any evidence to back up this much smaller stuff? its dropped 2ml in several years just to take it under 250 calories.
I suspect its same as creme egg nonsense, People get bigger and remember things being bigger.

2 seconds googling turned up countless examples of popular products shrinking.

so thats a no then

If countless news articles, before and after photos of product shrinkage and actual reality don't qualify as evidence in your mind then.... no.

you seem to be missing the point we are talking about feasts not other products.
Also inflation means companies need to either increase prices, reduce size or use cheaper ingredients. We should be all glad when companies choose to reduce size

I'm just glad there's somewhere that still sells it, none of the supermarkets round here sell them so I was thinking that they had stopped making them. I thank the chocolaty gods they haven't. :smile:

I have to agree. They are a streak of wee compared to what they used to be.

For some reason, I seem to remember these originally being called Big Feast; but I may just be misremembering.
Love these better than Magnums, Soleros, Fabs, etc.

I saw a box of 3, i think it was in, my local Morrisons the other week. Was surprised when I saw em as last time I saw em it was the mini ones. The price was something daft though like £2.50 - £3

Where the hell is this shop?
Nowhere near London I imagine.

I dont think they have a London store. Closest to London is probably somewhere in Yorkshire. They have many stores but mainly seem based around the North

There's a chance they might be in a costcutter if you have one near by - the mint ones are in ours :smiley:
Thanks for the heads up, typically I walked past Heron earlier, but I'll be going back by the end of the week - love feasts!

Well I won't be buying any, not buying intil it warms up a bit, as it's like winter again here today.
Maybe that's why they are on offer, lol

Am I going crazy or do were there toffee feasts? They were awesome!

There is a toffee crumble which is similar, do you not mean that?

Don't think so. Ive only known the normal version and mint. There was a Festival ice cream, which was the same as a Feast, which some ice cream stands sold. But i think even they was just original and mint.
